Scott Thornton has picked out a betting angle in both Champions League Semi-Final games this week.
20:00 Tuesday
PSG vs Dortmund
There was a whole host of chances at both ends of the field when these sides went toe-to-toe a week ago. The Parisians failed to score but they hit the woodwork twice and finished the game with an xG of 1.7.
Expect them to convert at least one of their chances at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night. However, PSG have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight home matches across all competitions so both teams to score looks a solid bet here.
Borussia Dortmund have scored in their last eight matches on the road. They have a lead to defend here but their pace on the count should prove to be a significant threat.
Cick here to read Scott Thornton's full preview for this game.
Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 4/6 William Hill (1 point)
20:00 Wednesday
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich
Real Madrid haven’t been beaten since September. That’s a run of 42 matches without tasting defeat. Over that period, they are averaging 2.33 goals per game and conceding just 0.88 so they will fancy their chances here. Carlo Ancelotti’s side have won nine of their 12 Champions League matches at the Santiago Bernabeu since the start of last season. They are unbeaten during that run.
Bayern Munich have drawn one and lost one of their Champions League away matches in this season’s knockout stages. They have conceded in their last 12 away matches across all competitions with their opponents averaging 2.08 goals over that period. That defensive frailty could prove to be costly so we are backing the home side to emerge victorious.
